For the past 21 years, annual “Service Members of the Year” awards have honored one outstanding military member (active duty, Guard or Reserve) from each branch of the U.S. military service who has gone beyond the call of duty. The awards are administered by Military Times and the Military Times Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit subsidiary of the Sightline Media Group. This year’s recipient’s will be celebrated at an invite-only event, July 18, 2023, at the Ronald Regan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C., attended by congressional, military and community leaders. We invite the public to join us via livestream. Register to attend the livestream by visiting servicemembersoftheyear.org/watch.

Since 2019, the Military Times Foundation has donated over $15 million in cash and media value to support over 150 military and veteran service organizations, such as Fisher House, Children of Fallen Patriots, TAPS, Objective Zero and others.

This year’s recipients include:

• Airman of the Year — Air Force Major Katie Lunning

• Sailor of the Year — Navy Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Anthony Anglikowski
• Soldier of the Year — Army Master Sergeant Justin Bolin

Recipients have been nominated by their compatriots and commanding officers. The Military Times Foundation selects recipients based on a number of criteria, including: 

• Their recent actions in their military career have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
• Their Service recent personal experience highlights the changing needs and institutional agility that are essential to modern military readiness.
• They do significant off-duty community service work that highlights the non-institutional aspects of commitment to public service.

“We are proud to recognize these exceptional service members who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in their military careers and community service,” said Michael Reinstein, Chairman of Military Times Foundation. “Their commitment and sacrifice embody the best of our armed forces, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements at the 2023 Service Members of the Year event. The Military Times Foundation remains dedicated to supporting military and veteran service organizations, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of our military community.”

Military’s #1 Streaming Service Adds Beloved Podcast from JDog Brands to Platform

SAN DIEGO, March 8, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
A podcast focusing on the stories of veterans and military spouses – and the keepsakes that made a difference in their lives – is the subject of the newest podcast, now available on VET Tv’s streaming platform.

Tactical Treasures, a podcast produced by JDog Brands, gives veterans and spouses the chance to talk about objects, lessons, and moments in their lives that they turned into the ‘tactical treasures’ in their military career, business, or life. The show’s host is Tracy “Mrs. JDog” Flanagan, the co-founder of JDog Brands.

“VET Tv has always prided itself on authentic storytelling,” said Waco Hoover, VET Tv’s CEO. “Tactical Treasures gives our audience a chance to meet a mix of big names and people you’ve never heard of – and hear compelling and impactful stories you won’t get elsewhere.”

Flanagan is no stranger to the veteran ecosystem and those that occupy it. Since co-founding JDog Brands with her husband, Army veteran Jerry “JDog” Flanagan, in 2011, Tracy founded and leads the JDog Spouses, a support community that provides advice, resources, and other ways to balance family while growing a JDog Brands business. She’s also a mentor for AMPLIFY, the Military Spouse Program through Hiring Our Heroes.

“I’m really happy to expand Tactical Treasures to the VET Tv audience,” Flanagan said. “I’ve found such joy in gaining insight into our wonderful guests and the things they hold dear, and I know VET Tv’s audience will too.”

Past guests on the podcast include: Former CIA director and retired 4-star general David Petraeus; U.S. Army Ranger legend Matt Eversmann of “Black Hawk Down” fame; Mark Harper, CEO of We Are The Mighty; and Tim Jensen, the chief brand officer and co-owner of GruntStyle. 

All episodes are available on VET Tv’s “Tactical Treasures” page now, with new episodes released on a weekly basis.
